The Clergy.
The second estate was the nobility, and the third was the commoners (everyone else)
The French Estates-General was composed of three distinct estates: the First Estate, which represented the clergy; the Second Estate, representing the nobility; and the Third Estate, which included the common people, such as peasants, urban workers, and the bourgeoisie. Each estate had its own interests and power dynamics, with the Third Estate being the most populous but having the least political influence. The Estates-General was convened to address fiscal issues and social unrest, particularly leading up to the French Revolution in 1789.
